Can you post a link. Don't forget that you pay for the license (e.g. the key), so do these CD's come with an unused key? Or are they just trying to flog you the software?

Thanks for the info. You still got the DVI -> VGA adapter? Looked into the Double Lifetime warranty and its only for the US/Canada. I'm gonna have a think about this, as I don't really need a graphics card at the mo as I'm always busy with uni work, just thinking about getting one if I see it...

Is the 5770 still available? I've got a couple of questions: What type is it? The xfx website has several. If it is a PCIe2.1 version will it still work on my PCIe2.0 mobo? What are the power requirements? I can't seem to find a definitive answer in respect to amps. My Earthwatts 500W has two...

Sainsburys near me (believe it or not!) has a couple of Acers on offer at the mo! Might wanna check those out, they seemed pretty competitively speced/priced. Doug.

Also, many modern TV's etc can accept both input, however, you will need to get compatible games. Doug.

I need to get a new battery for my laptop as the battery lasts only 30 - 40 mins now. Has anyone got any experience in buying generic replacements like this or this. Are these batteries any good? In some descriptions they state that they are 11.1v, however the picture of the battery shows 10.8v...

You might want to look into Genetic Algorithms (GAs). Shapes are generated and cross breed. The user removes unwanted shapes from the pool after every cross breeding until there are a selection of shapes with desired parameters. The parameters set by the user can be: Simplicity...

I bought a new TV in the last month and when we were looking found that most played pics and videos from USB. Even the cheapy supermarket own brands. To the OP, SD cards are dirt cheap now, and so are readers so you will be able to pick one up for under £15, or even £6!!! Don't know if...

Not directly related to your exact question: I have a Fujitsu Siemens laptop, had it since new 4 years ago, and it has been used everyday for uni work. It is still in great shape: all keys and buttons work, mousepad is still fine, power jack is OK and battery still lasts for 1 to 1.5 hours. Its...

You do not need a high spec graphics card for CAD. I use integrated graphics on my laptop and desktop for SolidWorks 2009 and NX5 - no problems. If you look on their respective websites you will see they only support high-end workstation cards. You need a fast processor. CAD modelling is a...

Should have said in the first post: they all have Windows 7. Think I'm gonna do a bit more bargin hunting and see how low I can get the N210 for and see then if its worth it over the Asus. Thanks, Doug.

And how about Samsung? Thanks for your replies guys. Thats what makes it even more confusing: theres so many models with such small differences. You have a convincing point Drenlin. What about Samsung? A bit more expensive but seems to be well recommended on the net, Samsung N210...

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a netbook for taking to meetings, researching in library etc as my laptop battery only lasts for about an hour now. I'm looking at the cheaper end of the market. I am looking for a good battery life, so one with a six cell battery, reliable/sturdy design as I...

Are you willing to sell the mouse on its own? £? Cheers, Doug.

Coolio, thanks for the quick reply! Doug

Hi guys. Just bought a AC Freezer 7 heatsink.... Should I use the preapplied MX-2 or some AS5 that I have? I've googled this to very mixed reviews, so even if they are taken as equal is it better to apply it myself or use the preapplied stuff? Cheers, Doug.

Modelling? As in CAD? That can only use one core as all the calcs have to be done one after another (so they can not be split over multiple cores), so the 25% is one core working at 100%. Doug.

Hi. I have that mobo and use the integrated video. It gets 5.2 for gaming graphics and 4.2 for aero graphics. In reality, it is great for most stuff non-gaming. I do have two games on my computer, Sims 3 and Battlefield 2 and can play them both on high settings with no problem. Doug.

Hi, I'm doing engineering at uni, so I kinda know what I'm talking about here: Multicore isn't important for CAD modelling as it is a linear process (e.g. everythings happens in series) so only one core can be used by the modeller. Rendering is a different matter, as this can be done...

Also: On amazon.com I found what jarlmaster47 linked to for $29.99, $12.00 cheaper than newegg. http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Webcam-1-3MP-Built-Microphone/dp/B002M78ECU/ref=pd_cp_e_1 Looks to be a good buy, Doug.
